How about the SPUI at exit 6 of the Northway?
Yikes. It doesn’t look like you can get there from there.

And that is why I despise lotteries - they prey on those least able to afford them. If anyone doubts that, just look at how and where lotteries are advertised! Granted, folks who are bad with money will easily figure out other ways to blow it. It's not uncommon at all to see them buying their lottery tickets alongside cigarettes or alcohol, or both, just for the sake of emptying that dusty pocket a little faster.Unfortunately, the people who need the money are more prone to use the money they have to buy lottery tickets.
One time the husband was at the lottery machine and yells to his wife (that is just about to present her food stamps at the register), “should I buy the usual $10 or more since the jack pot is high?” The wile shouts back, “yeah, might as well buy another $10 worth). I couldn’t help but shake my head. I guess all they had were food stamps and the hope of “living the dream” !!!

100% truth. You describe a guy whom I employ. I’d say works for me, but it would be a gross misuse of the word work. He smokes, drinks (the most likely reason he didn’t show up to work on Saturday). He plays lotto all the time along with the illegal numbers. I know what he makes. He can’t afford the money he throws away on lotto. Heck. Not that I’m Rockefeller, but I can’t afford what he spends on lotto.
Re: I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today!
Although to be fair, the auto anachronisms weren't TOO bad, as I recall. I forget what timeframe exactly the movie took place, as it jumped around a bit. But I do remember seeing an '80-82 T-bird, and a FWD X-car, either an Omega or Skylark. So if part of the movie took place in '79, either of those two could have been conceivable, I guess, since the '80 model year started in the fall of '79. And those FWD X-cars had an early launch, April of '79.
